Quick powerful and fun, but ..

As the title suggested, there is a lot that is good to great about this car. Powerful acceleration, luxury interior features, no emissions. But it's also quit large/bulky with a wide turning radius, which I'm still negotiating after a year. It can be difficult to park head in. Initial quality was also a little disappointing. The in-seat control buttons were not secure and I've had to pop them back in at times. The plastic surface on the front row console cracked shortly after acquiring the car. Worst was the driver door window that cracked the second time I rolled down (we won't discuss the attitude of the service rep at the dealership). Range varies considerably between winter and summer. I can get about 280 or 290 on a full charge (not going below 5% battery) in the warm months, and 80 to 90 miles less during the cold months (and I won't dare let the charge fall below 10%).

I love my car!

I have been driving my Ioniq 9 for 2.5 months now and feel grateful everyday for its comfort, performance, and super range. The only thing I wish were different is the sensors are a bit sensitive when I am trying to back out of my driveway. I will have plenty of space before a vehicle is coming and the car will stop and I cannot move. It is frustrating but only happens when I am in reverse and the rest of the car is so great I can look past the irritation.

Great car, with just a few minor flaws.

Overall, this is an awesome car and I’m so glad I bought it. There’re only just a few minor exceptions, but they do not detract from the overall excellent rating!

Love My Beautiful Green Vehicle

The vehicle is beautiful and the main reason I got the vehicle was because of the color. That green is extraordinary! The vehicle is quiet and roomy. Everything was going great as we approached the first year. Then the vehicle up and quit on me. ICCU & fuse failure. Roadside assistance came and picked up the vehicle and they had to bypass 2 Hyundai dealerships to find a third that was actually EV certified. So I was out of town with no vehicle to drive. About 10 days later I got my vehicle back. Everything seems to be good again but this episode sticks in the back of my mind, wondering if it’s going to happen again. This was unfortunate being that everything up until then was perfect. Hyundai! Fix this part so that this doesn’t happen again!

Drives great, accessories and electrical tend to break

I love the way this car drives! Fast acceleration and very smooth. Easy to charge at home and use the app to configure charging options. I like that it still has buttons with the large screen on the dash instead of only an iPad. Air conditioning is colder than any car I’ve previously owned. Kids love the space and electric up/down of the 3rd row is very convenient. Unfortunately my car has had a multitude of accessory things break - seat adjustment buttons, console wouldn’t open, kids door handle wouldn’t open/extend out of car and a trim piece misaligned which scratched the paint and caused a very annoying squeak. I’ve also had unexplained electrical issues: air conditioning stopped working, wiper blades stopped working in a rainstorm, charge port repeatedly clicking while car is on/driving and then a randomly dead battery one morning in my garage. Every time I bring it in they can’t “duplicate the issue” and give me the car back (they’ve shown me the car repeatedly has low voltage codes but they don’t know where it’s coming from). So overall the car is amazing, but as it’s the first generation Hyundai needs to fine tune the small things. I hope my electrical problems fix themselves - it’s my understanding that no other Ioniq 9s have come in with these problems so it’s prob just my car.

Charges from 10% -80% in ww minutes

The most important feature in an electric car is recharging time. Hyundai lived up to its promise.

2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 SEL

Overall, I really like the IONIQ 9, but there are two major disappointments for a vehicle costing around $70,000. First, there is no memory-seat function. I share the car with my wife, and changing the seat and mirror positions every time we switch drivers is very inconvenient. Second, the 360° surround-view camera is disappointing at night. The sides of the vehicle are too dark, and there are no LED lights under the side mirrors to illuminate the ground. The camera guidelines also do not always accurately match the vehicle’s position, making parking more difficult and increasing the risk of scratching or damaging the car. These features should be improved.

Good car, mediocre software

The car is great. I find the software to be mediocre and limited (why only 2 profiles & guest?). I would have liked to have adjustable suspension (or just a bit lower ride height)

I love the Ionic 9

We have had the Ionic 5 for a few years and decided to sell our second car, a Subaru and leased the Ionic 9. I love driving the new car.

Great van, ok EV

Maybe Tesla spoiled me but this van doesn't have the ev technology. Range is wildly inaccurate and under what they advertised. Charging at home takes days! Whereas the Tesla is done in hours. If you need a ev van it's pretty good. I leased for a reason.
